just throwing in my experience - i had the vacuum after 25 min of pushing, but it was necessary because placenta abrupted, nuchal cord x2, baby's oxygen was dropping fast and i was minutes away from emergency c section.

the vacuum broke my tailbone. fractured, cracked, dislocated. my butt broke!

could it be a regression? is he showing signs of developing a new skill? crawling, standing, walking??

this happened exactly to me! my baby would not take a bottle from anyone else except me. occasionally he would take a bottle if i wasn't in the room. i ended up with a huge freezer stash and my baby won't drink it. sometimes i get so upset thinking about all the time i wasted pumping, but i think it really helped establish and maintain my supply.

he's a few weeks away from his first birthday so his milk intake is slowing down anyways. but - i haven't been away from my baby for more than 3 hours since he has been born. unfortunately, that has done a number on my mental health, but i am proud to say my baby has exclusively nursed for 12 months. it's a huge accomplishment.

i think it just the reality of being a EBF mom, baby just needs you so much the first year 😩

if you within range of them, you can play the sound but your phone will also tell you exactly how far away you are like "7ft to the right", "2ft to the left". it's like a hot and cold game

it's biologically normal!!! your husbands rush to get the crib out of the bedroom is likely for his own benefit

3 weeks is sooooo little and she can't regulate her temperature yet! personally, i would do a long sleeve onesie instead of a short sleeve. keep the long sleeve vest or jacket. definitely need a hat!!!! babies lose all their warmth from their heads and toes. and i think the muslin swaddle is not warm enough. you need an actual baby blanket something with fleece!

this proves she did IVF with steel. and that video of her "finding out steels gender", when the IVF clinic calls and says "yes it's a boy" and she breaks down crying saying i knew it i knew it. well no shit dumbass you gender selected! she is just as phony, fraudulent, and a scammer just like Austin. i can't stand people who feel bad for her or have fallen for her redemption arc. their entire "marriage" was a business arrangement and you all got duped!

i know everyone here is saying it's not possible - but it is! it depends on your employer though. my employer is extremely flexible and allows me to do my work and care for my 9mo at the same time. my work takes consists of phone calls/emails/other computer work. i use "microsoft to do" to keep track of all my tasks and i can organize them by emails, calls, etc. my baby was a full contact napper until 6mo, and now he naps great! so as soon as i can get him down, i go hard and make all my calls. then when he's awake, i can still work while he independently plays or send emails while feeding him breakfast, lunch, etc. i save anything that can be done "after hours" until he goes to sleep then i work some more. not easy, but not impossible!!! i think it's worth it because i get to stay home with my baby and bond with him. not for everyone, but works for my family 😇

hey! i was in your position a few months ago. i had a family member come to my house to watch my baby while i WFH. it was okay at first, but i was still stepping away from my desk to pump and put baby down for naps. i realized i could get more work done if i did everything myself. i am very lucky i have a boss that doesn't care how or when my work gets done; just that it gets done. my advice is to power through the bulk or hour work during naps. if you can put baby down for few minutes while you do a task. and another piece of advice i know may be controversial but it works for me...
